    Sky Blues Betting Previews & Tips

    Really good idea. I’m a lazy gambler. I always fancy a flutter at the weekend but never find the time to complete the research. I do usually place a few bets on Coventry, but that’s just based on my preferences as opposed to anything else. So having someone else to complete the research is...

    Video The Final Push | Dream Baby Dream

    It is subdued but it’s still a pretty emotive piece and definitely has me more excited/apprehensive/nervous for Saturday. It’s frustrating we aren’t going into the last day challenging for the autos, but it’s still a better feeling that usual, and the first time in my lifetime, we are...

    Match Thread Coventry City v Morecambe Match Thread Saturday 5th May

    I am naturally a little apprehensive as this is Coventry after all, however I actually think we will win by a few goals; 3/4-0. I know we have underperformed numerous times this season, especially against weaker teams such as Morecambe, however if the players can’t motivate themselves for game...

    It’s going to be Lincoln isn’t it!!

    I actually wouldn’t mind it being Lincoln. They were pretty one dimensional against us, so at least we know what to expect. Plus, when we actually played football, passed the ball around and moved for each other, they were nowhere near us. From both a form and practical sense (i.e. travel) I...

    Cov fans fighting eachother

    As has been said before, unfortunately we seem to have our fair share of idiots. Especially at away games. It’s a shame when you don’t even feel relaxed amongst your own fans. There seems to be a mindset amongst certain fans that they are ‘well hard’ so they can do what they want. Even in the...

    Match Thread Coventry City at Cheltenham Town Match Thread - Saturday 28th Apr

    I’m a little late to the party, but what an absolutely fantastic result. That sort of performance was needed and the players did not let us down. They owed us after Tuesday. Fair play to MR as he obviously had them motivated. It was also a big call to drop JCH, who I imagine would not have...

    Nobody special, just a team based north of Coventry. You? Although I have missed a few games this season to watch Cov, however I’d say I’ve regretted it 75% of the time!!

    Match Thread Coventry City at Cheltenham Town Match Thread - Saturday 28th Apr

    I am worried about tomorrow. It would be typical Coventry to continue to implode, lose tomorrow and watch Mansfield win 3-0. I know it is against his nature, but Robins NEEDS to play an attacking team and tactics. If we play for a draw tomorrow we are shooting ourselves in the foot as either a)...

    Is there a future for the kelly-evans brothers?

    Dion was one of the few positives from last season, so it’s surprising to see he has been nowhere near the team. Even if he is injured, I’d keep him for next season. Unfortunately Devon has been poor in the games I’ve seen; not direct or pacey enough for a winger and potentially not good enough...

    Robins has to go in the summer / 02476 555 555

    But even the two January signings could be argued against as a) we shouldn’t have needed to sign a winger as we should have addressed the position in summer or b) they are bad signings by MR. However, I accept he’s been unlucky with illness and the fact Barratt is one of many who can’t transfer...

    Robins has to go in the summer / 02476 555 555

    I don’t want Robins to be sacked, and I appreciate he has taken us to within touching distance of the play offs, but I am becoming frustrated with him. He has been given a lot of slack for losing two key players, and rightly so, but that was how many games ago and we still haven’t really worked...

    Terrible terrible night. I’m on the way back to London now and have had time to reflect over night otherwise I genuinely think I’d have given the whole team a 0, bar Doyle. Burge - 5 - could have claimed the fourth and a dodgy moment early on when he let the ball get away from him after he’d...

    Match Thread Coventry vs Lincoln Match Thread - 24th April

    We have started the second half the same as the first; tactically clueless. No idea what our game plan is. There’s is clear; long ball and time waste. We are literally clueless in the air. McDonald is a liability. Take Shipley off and let’s attack. When we pass and move they struggle...

    When we actually get the ball down, pass and move, we look good. We need to do it more. Shipley is having a poor game offensively.

    Typical City. Defence looks really vulnerable already. Not sure what formation we’re attempting to play. Shipley almost seems to be making up the three up front. Bizarre. As I type McDonald gets bullied. Shock.

    I don’t know much about Rhead other than the fact he is reportedly an old fashioned target man. If so, I’d drop McDonald, he’s not been the same player the last few weeks and I’ve seen him (and Willis) get bullied too many times this season. I’d keep Willis in as his pace is an asset, especially...

    Genuinely can’t work out if Kelly and JCH are good or not? Pointless Ponticelli playing thus far.

    To be fair it was an idiotic pass to play, but McDonald should never have had his pass blocked, he had loads of time. Both absolute liabilities.
